    I have followed the youth scene for a while and thing's are looking pretty good for the future and for me Neil Vatcher is a unsung hero he has really pushed us on as a nation.He does a great job his enthusiasm is infectious and it would be great if a few Brits can crack it and actually go on and have good speedway career's.Lambert leading the way Bewley improving by the minute and the likes of Saunders,Kemp,Flint,Rowe,Atkins, (etc) doing great the future looks exciting just thought Neil deserves lots of credit.

    No problem there; personally I've always regarded 16-year-old Kyle's 2018 spot as an extended training session to gain Championship experience and learn the circuits he doesn't visit with the Colts. It should all stand him in good stead for 2019 with Workington, I hope. Young, talented and local -- what's not to like? The Comets management have consistently declared that winning or losing as a club is up to the other six and that Kyle (who only takes up two points in the team building anyway) is there to learn, so fair play to them for that. As captain, Proctor (and what a joy it is to see his current form) has already declared that a big part of his job is to help the less experienced riders. Actually, all that would still apply even if you reversed the Alwalton scoreline -- if a team is built for strength in depth, as with Workington, and doesn't perform you don't start narrowing your eyes and taking sidelong looks at the British two-pointer. What are we, Poole?

    the kids still learning. only just turned 16 @ the start of the season we will give him all the time he needs to progress in the sport .we have a good other 6 team members who can carry him and help him on his way . i remember neil collins @ wucky when he came , pretty poor , last places were the norm . then one meeting away @ weymouth . it all cane together . the rest is history . we are not a hire and fire club who drop riders cos they cant compete . it we were , we would have binned the fecker sarje . but the rule say we couldnt . kyle is doing alright and one day it will all come together .

    and yet some say we need the stellar names - we don't, we need riders who the crowd identify with and grow to love.

    Its a little harsh to say 'all the hype' - I don't recall much of that. There's no doubt he is struggling but its a massive step up from the NL. I can only hope the Comets don't drop him because riding at Championship level will only help him improve and they won't get anyone else to score more on the same average. As to the result, fingers crossed this will pull a few more in at Comets home matches as they simply don't get enough.

    Yep, it was a terrific performance by your boys. They blew Panthers away, especially from the gate. You're entitled to be chuffed, and even to gloat a bit. But it's a shame you added that little barb about Scotty. He's been on top form for Panthers, and even tonight he was the best of the (admittedly pi55poor) bunch tonight. If Panthers can't finish top - which, at the mo, looks highly unlikely - I'll be rooting for the Comets based on that performance.

    Yes Worrall for Holder. We go from strength to strength! Worrall a second string at best replacing a world champion. We are going to get a pasting on Monday and possibly Wednesday as well.

    Good to see a British rider and Belle Vue asset being given an opportunity to race in the PL. I hope he does well.

    Bit unfair to call them gutless. They don't choose not to win races. They only delivered what many suspected that they would at some point, not helped by a gaters paradise. It's ok saying that we warned them of track conditions and that they should have adapted but they were up against better quality all round and it's no good asking them to do a job that's beyond them.

    Listening to the team manager speaking on local radio and hearing how this team had silenced the doubters .... Sorry Carl, they are shouting again!! Not one Panther could get out of the start and to be honest not one looked fast enough when behind! In 42 years it's difficult to remember a more convincing home hammering Well done Workington, only team to turn up, bet you wish the 4's were here!!

    You are supporting the wrong team - the Poole mantra is win at all costs (and crow about how much better you are than all other teams) Not working out too well with a limited number of replacements willing to step in.

    Ignore the attention seeker Coombers. It’s KkS doing his/her usual thing.

    And yet you see, that’s everything that’s wrong with Poole. Instead of this ludicrous cut throat attitude of winning at all costs, you should stick by your riders and accept a bad spell or even a bad season and get a bit of loyalty. How many times will you sign the likes of Grajczonek, Sundstrom, Howarth, Newman and Shanes and then sack them at the drop of a hat? It’s about time riders stood up to Matt and said “no thanks, I don’t want to ride for you” ........ oh, hang on, they are!

    My thoughts are that being on Wednesdays rather than Thursdays is proving to be a major problem now that the Danish league has got going. Somebody somewhere should have had more balls.

    Workington completely outgated Panthers for most of the match and if anyone don't think they did then they must be blind...on the odd occasion that they didn't gate they had more power and just blasted round..I knew this would be a tough match but the performance of both sides baffled me in different ways.

    I agree - except I think you mean "Masons" not "Stone Masons"

    Let's be honest Steve Poole got rid of Shanes as soon as his average went up.Incidentally Shanes average went up a lot more than what the Poles did.The Poles were bought in on such lowly averages that they couldn't fail to increase their averages.Woryna so far has gone from 4.65 to 4.76 and Szczepaniak has gone from 4.54 to 4.73 riding at reserve.These are hardly a great increase considering these two were expected to put the most on their averages by far.
